rbenv/rbenv v1.3.0

rbenv 1.3.0

on GitHub

Hi, it's been a long time! 👋 The theme for this release is user-friendliness: both the initial rbenv init setup and the documentation throughout the project should be clearer and easier to understand, especially for newcomers.

Feature Changes

• The rbenv init command now modifies shell initialization files instead of printing instructions by @mislav in #1568

  This solves one of the most common pitfalls rbenv users were experiencing: many did not understand that rbenv init only printed instructions intended for humans but did not change anything in their shell environment. Now, rbenv init actually modifies the environment, which seems to be what most users expected in the first place.

  • rbenv init in setup mode defaults to no auto-rehashing by @mislav in #1579
  • Init script automatically adds rbenv to PATH if necessary by @mislav in #1432

• Simplify resolving symlinks, remove native bash extension by @mislav in #1428

  This solves a GPL license compliance issue where a GPL-licensed script was distributed with this project, which was not compatible with this project's license (MIT). #1395

• Support GEM_HOME by @mislav in #1436

• Add man page for rbenv by @mislav in #1438

  Preview the man page in HTML form here: https://rbenv.org/man/rbenv.1
